Hilton Als (born 1960) is an American writer and theater critic who writes for The New Yorker magazine.
Als is a former staff writer for The Village Voice and former editor-at-large at Vibe magazine.
His 1996 book The Women focuses on his mother, who raised him in Brooklyn, Dorothy Dean, and Owen Dodson, who was a mentor and lover of Als.[1][2][3] In the book, Als explores his identification of the confluence of his ethnicity, gender and sexuality, moving from identifying as a "Negress" and then an "Auntie Man", a Barbadian term for homosexuals.[3]
Als received a Guggenheim fellowship in 2000 for creative writing and the 2002–03 George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism.[4] In 2004 he won the Berlin Prize of the American Academy in Berlin which provided him half a year of free working and studying in Berlin.[5] He has taught at Smith College, Wesleyan, and Yale university, and his work has also appeared in The Nation, The Believer, and the New York Review of Books.
